The division then marched up by Inverleith-row, under the command of Lieutenant-Co lonel Middleton, accompanied by a great concourse of people, which was continually receiving fresh accessions of strength as they approached the town. Dundas-street, Hanover-street, the Mound, &c., were also crowded with dense masses of people, who successively cheered the regi ment as they approached. They reached the Castle about half-past three o'clock, after an absence in the Colonies of about twelve years.—Edinburgli Paper. PRICES OF STOCKS T H l. Bank Stock. per Cent. Iced. - 3 per Cent.

CODRINGTON expressed himself with much frankness and animation on the subject of the late session, and the opposition offered to the Ministerial measures by the House of Lords. The lion. Baronet observed, " I know that in order to bring the question of a Reform in the Lords forward under present circumstances, it is necessary that the voice of the people should be heard in the proper quarter; and I do therefore hope that other constituencies will look minutely into the state of affairs ; judge of the work done in the House of Com mons, and what was the reason of the opposition that has taken place to those measures. They will then see the necessity of making their opinions to be heard in the proper quarter, and I am sure if the House of Lords do not amend their ways, that it will then be the proper time to move for a reform of that assembly." Our Devonport Contemporary states in his report of the meeting that this allusion to Peerage Reform was re ceived with most enthusiastic cheering—a proof that, whatever may be the case in the immediate neighbour hood of Newton, the House of Lords is not so popular with the country as Lord SKELMERSDALE himself believes, and would fain have others believe. When we say " not so popular," we use the very mildest and tamest form of expression ; for not only is the House of Lords not popular among the enlightened Reform constituencies, but it is held by the majority of them i❑ the most unqualified abhorrence, for its late pre sumptuous, and too successful, attempts to thwart the best interests of the community. We scarcely think, howcrer, that it will venture next session to play over again the same game that it played throughout the one that has just closed. The lofty and resolved attitude of Ireland—to say nothing of the temper that is now breaking out among the English Reformers—will in duce their Lordships to pause in their career, and legislate, however much they may dislike such a pro cess, in an impartial and intelligent spirit. But should we be disappointed in our anticipations, and the House of Lords still pursue, as of old, the dirty, crooked paths of chicanery and factious intolerance—then we say, let them look to themselves ; for their downfal will be as certain as that to-morrow's sun shall dissipate the shadows of to night. Sir GEORGE GREY'S address to his Devonport constituents, though not quite so bold or explicit as Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON'S, or so much in the " Go-it-Ned" style, was, as far as it went, spirited and liberal. The Hon. Baronet ex pressed his conviction that there must ere long be another " appeal to the people," and added, " I tell you that the power is in your hands, and each indivi dual elector has the power to contribute to the support of those measures which will never be carried, except by a decided expression of the opinion of the people, and it is their own fault if they do not do so." So say we. Whatever may have been the case formerly, the people arc now omnipotent. There is not one single grievance under which they labor, for which they have not a remedy. As for the domination of the House of Lords, it exists only on sufferance. Let but the people actively bestir themselves, and that Institution now so potent, will become helpless as a new-fallen lamb. It needs but energy on our part to make it at once sensible of its weakness. " Fling but a stone, the giant dies." The Tories are quite frantic at their want of suc cess in their attempts to excite disturbance in Ireland. As a natural consequence, their organs rail at, and abuse, all who resist these attempts, a n d e xert them selves to preserve the peace of the country. A Morning mouthpiece of the faction—one who is almost without a rival in the art of vituperation—pretend s to be in a mighty passion with Captain DUFF, the Irish Ma gistrate, whose indefatigable exertions to maintain Per Shale. 4!<, (I% I 109 4 ,i 1141414 THE SUN, LON_DON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER: 13, 1‘.,3+ order and to keep down the rabid ferocity of the . " ascendancy" men have been so successful in the county of Cavan. Not only is this worthy Magis trate branded" as a tyrant and a persecutor, and what not, but the Government is accused of a direct par ticipation in this tyranny and persecution. It would be in vain to ask a writer of such a stamp why, allowing for argument's sake that a Magistrate had exceeded his authority, the Government should be held responsible for his conduct ? The question never sug gested itself to a mind wholly occupied by party feel ings, and labouring to impart its own colour to every subject presented to its consideration. The Government is popular in Ireland. That of itself is a sufficient reason for the outpouring of Tory wrath against it and its officers. The stain of Irish popularity certainly never .attached itself to a Tory Administration. The party cannot therefore. have that charge retorted upon them. Whatever other sins they may be guilty of, they are as innocent on that score as Adam before the fall. But they more resemble another personage in the malignity with which they regard the peace of Ireland, and all who contribute towards its permanent establish ment. Hence the fierceness of their attacks upon Lord MULGRAVE, the most popular Lord Lieutenant that Ireland ever saw. Hence the double distilled bit terness of their rancour towards Mr. O'CONNELL, the most popular leader that ever perhaps appeared in any country,—whose power over his countrymen is such that he can controul a nation by a wave of his hand—and hence the present storm in a teapot about the persecution of one DELANY, a vagabondizing fan atirtirnMed by the Orange worthies to go about abusing the Catholic religion, under the pretence of converting the Catholics to protestantism, and by thus exciting the passions of the multitude and provoking them to acts of violence, to get up scenes for some future pantomime at Exeter-hall. Captain DUFF thought it his duty to interfere ; and to prevent a breach of the peace, which was the natural conse quence of such proceedings, arrested this DELANY on one of his ill-omened expeditions. It would appear that in so doing be exceeded the authority vested in him by law. But so far from any intentional transgression of his duty being imputable to Captain DUFF, his most strenu ous opponents acquit him of this—and the beauty of it is that this acquittal appears in the correspondence which is paraded in the Morning Post of this day I What would these people say if they had any tangible charge against the Government, when they can make such mountains of mole-hills ? Letters from Berlin to the 7th inst., state that Prussia would gladly recognise Donna IsABELLA 11., Queen of SPAIN, provided the Spanish nation could be persuaded to re-abolish the Constitution of Cadiz. " Don CARLOS," writes the Prussian Correspondent, of a Morning Contemporary, under date of the 6th inst., "is now entirely removed to the background in the scene which Spain presents to the view of our Absolutists. Before the Constitution he appeared to them the saviour of Legitimacy ; at present they:would fain . see the QUEEN confirmed on the Throne, and give you legitimacy into the bargain, provided you could scare away that hideous hermaphroditical thing, be tween a constitution, a republic, and anarchy, which they call the Constitution of 1812." The substance of these very words appeared in this journal before MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA had retired from the Premiership of his native country. We stated that the effect of the policy pursued by the Northern Powers would be, not the simple adoption of the Conservative Estatuto Real, but the inevitable re-establishment of the Constitution of Cadiz, We predicted the near approach of a period when Austria, Prussia, and Russia would regret the obstinacy with which they opposed the Quadruple Treaty ; and lo ! it has already arrived. Was there anything remarkable in this ? Not at all. It required but a moment's consideration on the part of any person acquainted with the history and the ge neral disposition of the Spanish nation, to enable him to arrive at the very same conclusion. The cause was obvious to all who then sought for it ; and the effect is as natural as the emission of smoke by fire. The then unbroken slumber of the Spanish patriots was mistaken by the diplomatists of the Northern Powers for a state of general apathy ; hence they never sup posed that the struggle could engage more than the supporters of the Estatuto Real, and the followers of Don CARLOS. The Constitutionalists had not then bestirred themselves ; though it could not escape at tentive observers, that, if roused, they would soon bear down all opposition. But the regrets of the Northern Powers are now entirely useless. They can come to no accommodation with Spain, on terms involving the loss of the Constitution of 1812 ; and we know that at present they are as averse as ever they were to the recognition of Don CARLOS—inasmuch as such a step might lead to hostilities, which nothing could justify them in provoking. They might hope to gain over Louis PIIILLIPPE, but no terms could be kept with England, who, as a matter of right, would un sheath the sword to uphold the faith of treaties. The French Chambers would not stoop to the meanness of ratifying the conduct of the KING, and so fixing a stain upon the national honour—so that the affair would end in the downfal of Don CA uLos, and very possibly, in the banishment of the Orleans dynasty from the soil of France. Though the Governments of Russia, Prussia, and Austria regard the struggle now going forward in Spain as involving the triumph of one or other of the principles of regal despotism or popular representa tion, we are of opinion that they will await the issue before declaring themselves openly for either side. This caution is not unnecessary, and in their case is particularly prudent, if not praiseworthy. His Imperial Majesty the EMPEROR of all the Russias has issued a proclamation dated the 24th of August, ordering a general levy of recruits throughout his dominions, in the proportion of five to every thou sand males. Two districts of the empire are only ex cepted from the operation of the Imperial proclamation. This levy will produce an army so numerically great, as to justify some alarm on the part of the Western Governments of Europe. Nevertheless, we have only to keep our attention steadily directed to the state of affairs in the East, to render such immense levies of raw recruits a source of greater weakness to Russia than of danger to the liberties of mankind. A Rus sian army is seldom formidable in proportion to its numbers, because the theatre upon which only it is called upon to act is not adapted to the efficient move ment of immense masses of regularly disciplined troops. Besides, there is no army in the world so ill used and so badly paid as that of Russia. The pay o' the officers is insufficient to provide them with regimen tals ; and in order to support themselves, the men are compelled to adopt a system of wholesale plunder where ever they are quartered. They know nothing of moral courage ; they are not impelled by love of country ; nor are they acquainted with a higher motive for de fending or extending the empire than that such is the su preme will of the CZAR. They have animal courage it is tru2 ; but it is the courage of the brute, not the heroism inspired by the love of liberty. Fear in a Russian soldier is made to supply the place of patrio tism in an Englishman, and the love of fame in the chivalrous soldiery of France. But it is not on the weakness of the Russian army—from whatever cause arising—but to the strength of her navy, and her good understanding with France, that Eng land must look for a guarantee for the continuance of the general peace. With a powerful fleet we need not care a rush for the schemes of Russia, be they never so hostile. We arc already aware of her designs upon Turkey, and our knowledge of these de signs will go a considerable length towards rendering them abortive. She is not likely to gain much by her present war against the Caucasian tribes, who, properly speaking, are as independent of the SULTAN as they are of the CZAR. By her conquest of these tribes, she will pull down, we grant, a living wall between her and Constantinople ; but by so doing, she will only raise up another still more formidable, in the Go vernments of England and France. Happily this is a question upon which we have no reason to fear a change of opinion on the part of the apostate Go vernment of LOUIS PIIILLIPE. 'Whether the KING of the FRENCH adopt a more Conservative, or a more Liberal system—whether he declare himself an ad mirer of Russia or of Great Britain—whether he be for war or peace—we may defy him to remain King of France, and consent to the occupation of Constanti nople by the armies of the CZAR. The following is a copy of the Imperial Proclama tion : BY THE EMPEROR. " Desiring to facilitate to our subjects the fulfilment of their respective duties, and the execution of the regulations relative to conscriptions, we have thought proper to abolish in time of peace the general levy replaced by the manifesto of the 4th of August, 1834, by particular levies distributed between the two parties of the empire. After having established these general orders, our solicitude was directed towards the condi tion of the sub-officers and soldiers of our army, and we re solved to soften it as much as possible, by abridging the time required for active service. To assure this result, we ordered that all soldiers or sub-officers who had served twenty years without having incurred censure, either in the active troops or in the army of reserve, should have the right to an unlimited absence. This measure produced the most beneficial results. According to the regulation of the 30th of August, 1834, the soldiers having the right to unlimited leave, and who, in con sequence of their irreproachable conduct, had acquired the right to a retreat, went to their homes, and, still having the advantage of belonging to the military rank, employed them selves in the different branches of industry. The efforts directed to an end so praiseworthy contributed, at the same time, to improve their individual condition and the resources of the State. The two manifestoes above alluded to, in improving the condition of the troops, had the inevitable con sequence of diminishing to some extent the number of active troops. On one band the annual levies were not raised, at least if not in all the Governments, in a large portion of the empire ; and, on the other, the time of the after-service being reduced, has tended considerably to reduce the skeletons of the army. This falling off is particularly felt at this moment, when the soldiers who have entered the service in consequence of the levies of 1812, 1813, and 1814, have obtained unlimited leave. Under these circumstances, we judge it necessary . to establish the staff of the army upon a footing corresponding with the necessities of the state, and with the end of complet ing our army and our fleet, to proceed actually by acception to a general levy throughout the whole extent of the empire. There will be this year a general levy of recruits in all the empire, with the exception of and Bessarabia— namely, five recruits in 1,000 male individuals; secondly, all the laws actually existing for the forwarding of recruits are maintained in their full vigour at the approaching levy ; thirdly, there sh all not be the least change in the regulations established for the enlistment of recruits among the Cossacks of Little Russia, and among the peasants belonging to the districts of the military colonies for the cavalry."

The lessee of Drury-lane Theatre is expected in town from Paris to-morrow, where he has made many valuable engagements. The "divine Taglioni" will perform a limited number of nights in the early part of the season, and Malibran will likewise appear in a new opera after her return from the music-meetings in the provinces. Bunn has likewise engaged several persons of the highest talent for the regular German opera. The interior of this theatre is entirely re-embellished in a new and fanciful style by Crace and Son, under the direction of Beazley the architect. Bunn has added to his company Vale, from Covent-garden, and Wrench, one of the most clever comedians of the day, of the English Opera-house. 'The opening of Drury-l ane may poss ibl y b e d e f erre d some days beyond the original intention, occasioned by painting, decorating, and new-modelling the audience part of the house, and the stage also. HARE HUNTING EXTRAORDINARY —We were 400,000 sportsmen, French as well as Austrians. We were near a village called Wagram, not far from Vienna. The plain was covered with hares; every ten paces several rose up. Our musketry, our ar till ery f r i g ht en ed them. They ran, hoping to escape, but they found before them 200,000 Aus trians, who made war a sport. Then they came back towards us ; they were seen flying in squadrons between both armies. A charge of cavalry, which took place at the moment, threw them into disorder; they pierced our ranks, passed between our knees ; they were killed by blows of the sabre or by stabs of the bayonet; they were taken alive. That day was seen a great slaughter of hares and men. A hare made men forget their dead comrades. It was the farce after the tragedy. Many balls intended for the enemy were fired at these poor animals. Never were so many seen, never were so many killed. After the battle, conqueror and conquered, we supped almost all of to on game, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) MARLBORO UGH-STREET. George Andrews, a dapper little tailor, standing four feet nothing, was charged with being the worse for liquor, and breaking a pane of glass in the shop window of Mr. Isaacs, of Leicester-street. The defendant said it was purely an accident—the pave ment was very slippery, and somehow the shop window came against his shoulder, and the glass certainly did give way. If he was allowed to depart, he should be more cautious in future. MAGISTRATE— You must pay ss. for the glass, and ss. for being drunk. What a shame for a boy of your age to be get ting drunk. Policeman—Oh, your worship, he's five-and-twenty years old !—( Much laughter.) John Grey, who described himself as a waiter at a public house, was charged with having gulped down several dozens of oysters, and refusing to pay for them. The policeman stated that the defendant was surrounded by about a dozen women of the town, whom he helped with great liberality. On being asked for payment, he kicked up a tremendous row, and swore lie would tumble all the tubs into the street. MAGISTRATE—Was he drunk ? Policeman—Very drunk, indeed. MAGISTRATE—Then he must pay ss. I have nothing to say to the oysters. TOWN-HALL. Robert Davis was brought this morning before Mr. Alder man BROWN, charged by Edward Hayward with being drunk, and while in that state maliciously and wilfully destroying half a dozen wine-glasses, his property. Hayward stated that he was a hawker of glass, and as he was passing over London-bridge yesterday afternoon, shortly after five o'clock, the prisoner who was exceedingly drunk, came up to him, gave him a shove on purpose, and nearly sent all his glass-ware over the bridge. Six wine-glasses were smashed to atoms. Mr. Alderman BROWN—WeII, prisoner, what have you to say to this ? The Prisoner—l have no recollection of it. Mr. Alderman BROWN—WeII you must be committed for fourteen days unless in the meantime you pay the damage— four shillings. The prisoner could not pay the money, and was therefore committed. This was the only charge brought before Mr. Alderman BROWN to-day. UNION-HALL. Bax, the boy who upon his own confession had been incar cerated for robbing his masters, Messrs. Chandler, was again placed at the bar, for the purpose of allowing Bristow, the boy who had been taken up with him, to give evidence. Bristow stated that on Wednesday night last he met the prisoner Bax, and Thatcher, in Clifton-street, Camberwell. They were going towards town. Bax said to him "we are going to buy some new clothes, should you like a suit ?" Wit ness said he should; and Bax then observed that he had plenty of money, and if he chose to go along with them he would buy him a suit. They then went to a Mr. Duncan's, near the Marsh Gate, where Frax bought three suits of clothes, for which he paid upwards of 71. Afterwards they adjourned to the Surrey Coffee House, where they regaled themselves with coffee, eggs, and ham, and slept that night. In the morning they all went to Islington, where Bristow left them ; but on their way they called in Field-lane, where Bax bought five silk pocket hankerchiefs, for which he gave ss. each. On witness asking him where he got the money, he gave him no answer. Mr. WEDGWOOD said it was the oddest story he had ever heard ; Bax must, however, be fully committed, and Bristow bound over to give his evidence at the trial. John Bassett, a person in the employ of Messrs. Pigeons, the distillers, of High-street, Southwark, was fully commit ted to the Old Bailey for trial, for stealing several knives and forks, their property. SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) Johu Holdforth and Thomas Williams were indicted for stealing a bantam cock, on the Bth August, the property of Richard Garton, of the parish of Wisley. • Mr. GAZELEE stated the case for the prosecution. About six o'clock in the morning of the day named, a man named Daw lings was looking out of his window, when he saw the pri soners and a female, the wife of Williams, driving up a lane leading from the prosecutor's house, three fowls. He went and gave information, upon which he and the prosecutor's son followed, and overtook the prisoners on a common. On being charged with the theft they denied it, and refused to return to Mr. Garton's house, unless paid for their day's labour. They went away,, and on searching near the place where Holdforth was sitting, they found a canvas bag, containing a fowl partly plucked, but still warm ; also a leg and shoulder of mutton. They were subsequently taken into custody. The prosecutor's son identified the fowl found, as being the property of his father. Verdict—Guilty. The prisoners were again indicted for stealing, on the 7th of August, a wether sheep, valued 355., the property of John Baker, sen., of Woking. James Mentz was shepherd to Mr. Baker. On the 6th of August he turned some sheep into a field, amongst which were two stag-headed sheep, one of which he missed on the following day. He was shown a skin in the evening, but he could not swear it was that of the lost sheep. John Mahon found the skin produced on Woking-common. He took it home, from whence it was taken by a boy while he was from home. Arthur Baker went to the last witness's house, and took the skin produced from there to Mr. Baker's. _ _ Mr. George Baker deposed that the sheep-skin produced belonged to a sheep which was the property of his father. Their flock consisted of forty-four sheep, two of which were stag-headed. The sheep which was stolen was a very parti. cular one, and was termed a thick-chopped one. James Dawlings repeated the evidence as to finding the canvass-bag containing mutton. He found it in the furze, and did not see it in the possession of either prisoner. James Davis, a butcher, said he saw some mutton at the committing Magistrate's house which was not cut up in a business-like manner. He had fitted the mutton into the skin produced, and ha had no doubt the meat was part of the sheep. The leg wanted some of the sinews, which were attached to the skin produced. J. S. Cooke, a blacksmith, was acquainted with Holdforth, who asked him in the beginning of June to make him a knife of a peculiar description. There were several persons pre sent ; some one asked what he wanted it for ? He said he wanted it to cut sheops' throats. Witness considered the matter as a joke, and made the knife. The prisoner's Counsel, Mr. CHAMBERS, on the part of Williams contended, that there was no case against him. He was not, in the evidence, at all connected with the sheep. The CHAIRMAN summed up, and the jury, after a short con sultation, returned a verdict of guilty against the prisoner Holdforth, and of acquittal for Williams. The COURT then sentenced Holdforth to one day's impri sonment for the fowl stealing, and of transportation for life for sheep stealing ; and of 6 months' imprisonment on Williams for fowl stealing.

THE THEATRES. CO VENT-GARDEN. This theatre was re-opened for the season last night. „ pieces selected were Macbeth and Harlequin Guy Fatel s Mr. Charles Kemble played Macbeth.

Whilst matters st : thus, it appears that certain State papers directed to P r4 ,o Rupert have fallen into the hands of the tailor, who, it lg b honest man, transmits them to the tight owner. Master Hob Neville, an officer serving under General Fairfax, hearing the y the papers have fallen into Thimblewell's hands, were for safety stitched up in his waistcoat, becomes its p , ' ln chaser for 2,000 marks, whilst Calverton Hal, a cava r l ier bis the service of Rupert, endeavours to procure them ' Ot t at master, and for that purpose purchases the tailor's CO s o 1,000 marks, under the supposition that they are secretege that garment.
